Man, English is so wacky. After reading that post twice the structure fell apart in my mind, and I'm a native speaker. Hats off to anyone who picked up the language along the way.

"This can't possibly be the same 9PM at which I once would prepare for outings."
Does this work better, or am I crazy?
And this is perfect example of using five words incorrectly, rather than the correct two.
I can't believe when I was in university, people would start pre-drinking at 10PM so they could go out already drunk and not have to pay for drinks at the clubs.
I remember doing that well into my early 20s, but instead so that I wouldn't spend nearly as much on $7 beers. Now if I'm not home by midnight at the absolute latest I turn into a grouchy pumpkin.
I like to be home by 11, so there's room for a little chill time before I actually have to go to sleep!
Getting home and immediately going to bed is the worst!
I feel that, if I've been tying one on I'm not likely to crash out immediately, but being home at a reasonable hour certainly saves from going overboard.
When you hit 30 9pm turns into 10 pm. Pretty much youll need to add one hour to each decade after that so 40 9pm turns to 11pm 50 y/o 9pm becomes midnight and so on. Then when you hit 75 you stay up until midnight and wake up at 5am cause you sleep all day anyway
DEEP!
This seems accurate enough to my experience lol
I used to party a lot (too much) when I was younger. Every damn weekend I was "on the go". Now I don't want to go anywhere. Now if I want to "party", I drink beer at home, listen to music and maybe play some video games. Alone.
You should totally invite friends over for the video games.
Everything is online now, so inviting friends over us counter-intuitive.
I'm just old enough to have fond memories of Xbox LAN parties, multiCube Double Dash, and Zelda: Four Swords.
...well, maybe not so fond on 4 swords, I think I still have Fire Rod PTSD.
Nah, they have an annoying habit of winning
Sounds like you need ~~better~~ worse friends.
Old dude video game club?
20somethings who get wasted while you have a beer?
Invite the local kids (and their parents of whatever kibd you think are cute) over?
Omg, too real. My reaction speed is consistently 60+ ms above my friends so they beat me with reflex alone.
This is me. Lol.
I remember in COVID enjoying beer and whisky while roaming around the witcher 3. What an adventure. It was my first playthrough and I had all the expansions.
Yeah, those nights are so few and far between anymore. And I always just tell people, how is this night different than the hundreds of thousands of other nights between 2008 and 2020?
Zombie fire, sharknadoes, and environmental contaminants. The ice agents lynching people. The air of desperare hopeless no-future abandon that really takes a party up to 11.
One hundred thousand nights is 274 years.
arabian nights or european?
It was like 10pm at night and my friend called me. "Are you still awake?" Of course, I said. "Meet me downstairs, we're going to a warehouse rave."
I had a great time that night. It's when I figured out how to dance to drum 'n bass music. I go to sleep ~1030pm now.
I'm fucking ancient in my 40s. I'm satisfied that I partied enough when I was younger, so I'm ok with this. The 22yo version of me would be horrified, but at least I still go to concerts. They're safe because the show starts at 8pm, so I can get wildly drunk and not remember most of the show and still be home early enough to get to work a little bit drunk the next day.
If it's past 7:00 I'm not going.
I had this exact thing happen tonight. My wife is out of town, so I ordered dinner around 530 and started calling buddies to hang out. At about 7 after I ate, my couch was way too inviting, and vegetation occured.
Only reason I'm awake now was to tell the kids renting the Airbnb down the street to turn off their loud ass techno music that was vibrating my pillow.
Now get off my lawn.
I get up between 3&4am 10 months of the year. I need to be home and getting ready for bed by 7:30 at the latest.
Oh I'll be up past 1am I just want to do it in my own house
It is the combination of the pandemic lockdowns made people yearn less going on night outs, and also the price of drinks have become too damn high!
i remember in my mid 30s and hanging out with the younger millenials who were always like 'yea come meet at our place around 10:00 and we'll uber to downtown together' and i was always all LOL dude i'm already three quarters to being done drinking by 10pm and that's when you want to start the evening?
Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.
I'm too old for this shit, just don't wake me up.
You're right, it's too bright out
I’ve lived in places where bars close at 1:30am and others where they don’t close and you end up going home at 6am or so.
I love being home by 2am lol
9 o' clock? Time to get home!
Dissenting opinion: some people need less sleep as they get older. iirc I needed the most sleep in my late 20s, but it's decreased since then.
